Crash and Recovery of my Super Cub LP

The following events took place on February 21st, 2010.

First, putting my airplane in a tree:

And getting it down thanks to Andy:

It’s ready to get back in the air, need to catch a break from the wind!

Its time to move on to helicopters.

Crazy Super Cub Flight

This one was recorded shortly after my last 2 videos posted here, just haven’t gotten around to putting it up. Almsot lost my plane this day!

Feel free to watch the next video if you’re still excited from that one:

First day of flight with the Super Cub LP

This is a video of my second flight on my Super Cub, made possible by my iPhone 2G and duct tape!
Taped to the bottom of the plane, it didn’t effect flight all that much, maybe made the battery use some more juice though.

This video is a little more fun, I’m flying my Hobby Zone Super Cub with my iPhone 2G taped sideways on top of the plane (so it sort of acts like a rudder, err, not really).

You may notice before my landing I have a swift encounter with a tree… You will soon see who holds the upper hand, Nature vs. RC operator…! *pumps fist*

There are some great views of the sound, with some more practice I hope I can get some even better footage… Enjoy!

Many thanks to Ronald Jenkees for providing some awesome tunes to match my flight.
These videos made possible by the Cycorder app for the iPhone!
